Finland-Brazil Axis, Ceteris paribus in economics en.wikipedia.org [edit] The clause One of the disciplines in which ceteris paribus clauses are most widely used is economics, in which they are employed to simplify the formulation and description of economic outcomes. For example, it can be predicted that if the price of beef decreases — ceteris paribus — the quantity of beef demanded by buyers will increase. In this example, the clause is used to operationally describe the relationship between both the price and the quantity demanded of an ordinary good. This operational description intentionally ignores both known and unknown factors that may also influence the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Such factors include: the relative change in price of substitute goods, (e.g., the price of beef vs pork or lamb); the level of risk aversion among buyers (e.g., fear of mad cow disease); or the level of overall demand for a good regardless of its current price level (e.g., a societal shift toward vegetarianism). The clause is often loosely translated as "holding all else constant." /// Ceteris paribus is a Latin phrase, literally translated as "with other things [being] the same," and usually rendered in English as "all other things being equal." /// But please try to handle our somewhat motorically challenged, maybe too tall and thus stiff, prime minister with the respect needed for somebody who can chop his firewood with a perfect beat, hammer in his nails while building his own house, but not do anything like a samba while, or after doing that,. PS However, he (Vanhanen) is supposedly a great fan of Gilberto Gil as well as "the forgotten little land-less agrarians" although not the most anarchistic of them. PPS He (Vanhanen) is by many women seen as sexy as a mix between a full grown giraff and a newly born baby. gilbertogil.com.br That is, we all wait for some further news of his latest travels.

However, Vanhanen beats Angela hands down, with two thumbs on his handset. I think he is the first prime minister who got his post-divorce relation started by SMS messages, and also ended it with one SMS message "it is now all over" (crudly translated). // Vanhanen has been characterised as uncharismatic and even boring, which he has attempted to turn to his advantage in tense political situations. Vanhanen is known for being a teetotaler, saying that he does not like the taste of alcohol.[1] He rarely smiles in public. Vanhanen married Merja Vanhanen 1985. They have two children: Annastiina (born 1991) and Juhana (born 1994). Matti Vanhanen and Merja Vanhanen unexpectedly announced their divorce on 6 April 2005, which has had political repercussions for the self-styled family man. Later there were claims in the tabloid press of affairs during and after his marriage. After his divorce, Susan Kuronen was widely linked to Vanhanen [2] but their relationship broke down.[3] In February 2007, Kuronen released a tell-all book The Prime Minister's Bride, which actually boosted the prime minister's popularity with the public. Tens of thousands of Finns signed an online petition against the book and many bookstores refused to put it on the shelf.[4] In a 2006 book commissioned for the presidential elections, Se on ihan Matti, Vanhanen compared the Finnish tabloid press to the KGB and Stasi, former Soviet Union and East German secret police agencies [5]. During the ASEM 2006 meeting in Helsinki, French president Jacques Chirac described Vanhanen, perhaps jokingly, as "the sexiest man in Finland".[6] Vanhanen is about 1.98m. He is also left-handed [2]. // Supposedly he even spent his night in the hotel room of our cultural minister, a fairly smart, also recently divorced woman, former "model". Our conservatives have tried to copy those things, but they go for the ones with sillicones. (the major reason our conservative minister was forced to step down, by his own silly party) Both of them write lots of SMS messages in their divorced lonelyness and all their women tend to publish them. This (female) professor of "romantisism" said it is good that male politicians show that there is still some skills around, on how to write SMS messages to a woman. She said they are almost as gifted as the old greek. That is, I have not heard anything about the skills of Angela Merkel.
